Does anyone else find they get a growth-spurt from their houseplants at this time of year? Although the days are shorter, for me the sun being lower in the sky means much more light gets into my flat.

Wow! Pretty cool looking plant. Where in the world are you, the tropics? How much light does the plant need?

Ok, thanks. I'll get one and give it a try. I have a western facing window up here in New England USA. Good condition right now with lots of sunlight after noon and warm heat in the house. Thanks again.

Yes... that room gets lots of light so I have quite a few in there ...
And yes .. you should definitely get one they are so easy to root from cuttings .. so you can have quite a few!

Be ready for it to take over that whole area as they get quite big. I once saw one in a greenhouse that was 6 or 7 feet tall and as wide with fruit growing from it. Your plant looks like it likes it's new location. If it gets too big for your inside garden it most likely would grow well outside in your area.

Phaleanopsis Sumatrana will be joining the family soon... Couldn't help myself. There were so many more I wanted to get, but I had to be somewhat responsible with the monies this pay-period.

Orchid family?

The patterning looks like a long time forgotten written language of orchids.

Orchid family?

Indeed, it's a Phaleanopsis species. I've been looking for them basically ever since beginning my orchid hobby.. started out with the typical hybrid phals you always find in grocery stores and typical flower shops. As I learned about all the different types I realized I really wanted to keep track of the lineages of my orchids so I started buying from a reputable orchid nursery in California.

So far I have 3 different Laelia types, a Monnierara Millennium Magic "Witchcraft" (which is a catesetum type orchid), a variegated Vanilla Planifolia vine, a Sharry Baby oncidium, and the Phal. Sumatrana will be the 4th Phaleanopsis species in my collection.

Before that I already had 11 of the typical hybrid phals from home depot and places like that. Very happy with how it's been going, I haven't lost an orchid in about 3 years if I'm remembering/estimating time accurately.

I guess it would be appropriate to say, it Speaks to me.
